Re: 2001 V70T5 DSTC Service Required - Engine Stall/Limp Mode

I just got my ABS module back from a repairer who has soldering skills. Unfortunately those soldering skills must have been lost at or around the second world war (pic attached) I also have "DSTC service required" after a decent 10min drive.

I'll touch up the solder myself as I think I can do better work than this: (so hard to find skills for this job in my area) My ETM is dealt with recently by adding a contactless conversion.

These P2 series cars really do need a Vida/Dice or Autel AL-619 or iCarsoft 906 to read the ABS codes so you can get to the bottom of problems.

Wow! That soldered joint is very poor, totally unprofessional and plain unacceptable. Incorrect temperature and probably inadequate flux. It is quite likely that the joint does not conduct electricity. If it does, it will probably fail soon due to oxidation or mechanical failure.
